In a round led by Canapi Ventures, embedded ERP banking specialist FISPAN has raised $30 million in Series B funding. Existing investors, including Rhino Ventures, also participated in the round. In a statement, the company said that the funds will help FISPAN expand the set of ERP platforms it supports, add actionable insights to its Accounts Payables solution, and launch a new Accounts Receivables automation product. In addition to accelerated product development, FISPAN noted that the capital will help the firm scale its go-to-market efforts and expand its market reach as well as support strategic talent acquisition.
FISPAN helps businesses integrate banking services directly into their enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and accounting software. The company helps banks maximize their investments in host-to-host and API platforms that have enabled large businesses to experience greater productivity by connecting to their financial institutions directly. FISPAN’s technology packages these connectivity capabilities to empower banks to deliver their treasury products to mid-market and smaller businesses by way of an easy-to-install, out-of-the-box, in-ERP plugin. This empowers banks to offer integrated client experiences via financial and banking capabilities that are embedded directly into their existing ERP systems. This facilitates centralized financial workflows, automated processes, and fewer manual errors for businesses.
“This Series B funding is a pivotal moment for FISPAN, empowering us to significantly scale our innovation and market reach,” FISPAN Founder and CEO Lisa Shields said. “Canapi quickly distinguished themselves through their understanding of the embedded ERP banking landscape and our unique opportunity within it. With an LP network of over 75 financial institutions—and partners with banktech operating expertise—Canapi is a natural partner for our next chapter. We’re excited to work with Canapi to help more treasury teams optimize their operations.”
A multi-stage venture capital firm, Canapi Ventures invests in fintech and enterprise software and is backed by the Canapi Alliance, whose network of leading financial institutions stretches across the US. As part of its investment in FISPAN, Canapi Ventures’ General Partner Tom Davis will join the company’s board of directors.
“FISPAN is at the forefront of a fundamental shift in how businesses interact with their banks,” Canapi Ventures General Partner Tom Davis said. “Their proven ability to deliver highly sought-after embedded finance solutions positions them for tremendous growth. Our investment reflects our confidence in their visionary team and their capacity to build a leading platform that drives efficiency and value for both financial institutions and their corporate clients.”
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, FISPAN made its Finovate debut in 2017 at FinovateFall in New York and most recently demoed its technology at FinovateEurope 2022 in London. The company counts the world’s largest banks and nearly 5,000 businesses throughout North America among its customers. FISPAN began 2025 announcing that partner BMO had launched its embedded banking solution, BMO Sync. The new offering will enable businesses to automate payments, streamline workflows, and achieve enhanced cash flow visibility to simplify the payments process.
